Well... here I am attempting an online renaissance, of sorts. I'm all comfy here in my room listening to mom's old Jethro Tull albums on a record player Sophia's mom gave me, and sipping on some cheap but satisfying beer. I'll be checking up on a few old friends' blogs after I write this.

Went horseback riding yesterday. Ebony (Ebby) is fast becoming my second girlfriend. Except when she suddenly takes off into whatever pace is just under a gallop. Damn near bounces me off the saddle. I've still much to learn, but yay me for dropping my squeamishness and slapping several horseflies dead off of different horses' backsides.

I need to stop pronouncing 'twenty' as "twunny". It sounds hickish.

Sent out my first invoice, to the Troy Foundation for the photos I took. What a great feeling to bill somebody. :-)

New photos below, be sure to give them a look-see. :-)
